- Fantastic Pageant Coach -- pm in tn, 13:39:28 04/24/06 Mon [3]
Miss Mikki with Sparklebabyz@aol.com
We started with a new coach and love her dearly already. She does things old school, which is fantastic. She never talks on her cell phone or does other things when we have a class. She always talks to each child, by name and doesn't seem to favor anyone in particular. She has been doing this for over 25 years not including the break she took to have her son. Her daughter was in pageants, but is in cheerleading now, and is I believe, 13. I am just trying to help her build her students up, since she has been away. She has been to a bunch of the big Nationals this year and her girls are already winning titles. You have nothing to lose by talking to her and a whole lot to win by going with her.

- LOLI YOU CAN RUN & HIDE, SHUT YOUR CONTEST DOWN FOR A WEEK, BUT, WE WON'T FORGET WHAT A 2 FACE LIAR YOU ARE -- No name, 15:56:52 05/21/06 Sun [1]
Loli is the almighty Photo contest god and ruler. What she says goes, apparently she must be the only one to run a $1000 Contest and I have been informed that she will blackball anyone who enters this one, therefore this one is now closed so that no one is going to be blackballed anywhere. All entries have been refunded, sorry. As for Loli, let me tell you a little truth about your almighty ruler. I once considered her a friend, but friends do not stab each other in the back as she has done to me. She and I discussed a running a $1000 contest together about 2 months ago. then 1 day her and dawn opened one, yes I was miffed not that they had one, but that they didn't even have the courtesy to tell me. Loli knew that I wanted to turn Jackpot PC into a $1000 contest long before give me a grand was opened and I already had graphics on the site for it _<a rel=nofollow target=_blank href="http://jackpotpc.net/1000Jackpot/index.html_">http://jackpotpc.net/1000Jackpot/index.html_</a> (<a rel=nofollow target=_blank href="http://jackpotpc.net/1000Jackpot/index.html)">http://jackpotpc.net/1000Jackpot/index.html)</a> , she had seen them. So after they opened give me a grand, I changed my mind about converting Jackpot and decided to just make a new domain, which I did. And I then showed this to Loli and she did not mind she only asked that I keep my deadline away from theirs so I did I picked a date weeks away from theirs. Loli then went on to IM me on the night of their first deadline telling me to close mine already that it couldn't be done, that there was no way anyone had ever awarded $1000 in a photo contest without making a deal. She also added to all of her banners that night that it was her last contest until the fall. And then later after her winner was posted, they changed their mind and made their next deadline the night after my first one. So much for keeping the deadlines away from each other!
She is a basher, she has bashed Material Girls, MDF, Dotty, MEL, Cher, Michelle and many many others, and guess what you all thought that was me, well it wasn't. Before the IPs were turned on on voy 189998 I went through and removed all of Loli's posts to "protect" my friend, I realize now that wasn't a wise idea. There was then a new photo board put up... Say Anything you want on it and nothing would ever be removed, that board was owned by none other than Loli. She was upset that I told Kellie she was the owner, because she didn't want anyone to know and she said Kellie has a big mouth, and low and behold Kellie got bashed on it, so Kellie posted and mentioned Loli and poof, everything was gone. If she was a "friend" like she claims, then she would not have stood back and watched KELLIE and I take a bashing for the MDF drama, she would have spoken up and said it was HER and not US. As a matter of fact, KELLIE was defending MDF. That first month when Material Girls opened up, Loli was also offering anyone that was entered in Material Girls a FREE entry into Xpress if they would pull their entry from Material Girls. Loli was the one posting all those things about you Angela, not me. I posted your IP and that was it. Loli and Dawn are the ones who found your photos online and posted the links on Kellie's board, not me. Loli was the one saying that you scammed people on a pageant not me, but I removed those posts before I turned on the IPs, to "protect" Loli, at the time, I did it because I thought she was a friend, well I'm sorry but I'm not taking the blame for Loli's bashing any more. All the bashing I have taken Lately, Loli insists that it was you Angela, bashing me just so you know. Dotty - That was Loli laying in to you on Kellie's board, not me. She is the one that was going on and on about the Proton Beams and the Airplane parts,not me. I told you everything I had to say to you in EMAIL, which I still have. Any posts that I made on the board to you, you knew they were me because I said so.
Michelle - I have not bashed you anywhere on any board ever, Loli did some of it and I don't know who did the rest. Everything I have ever said about you was to Kellie or to YOU via Email. Loli knows what I know, because I told her and that was it.
MEL - Loli & Dawn are the ones who bash you the most. I said what I had to say to you IN EMAIL and you know that, Our problems were solved in email and that was IT. Loli hates that you have wow what a personality and she has said that she will bash you any chance she gets for being a copycat.
Renee - Loli is the main person bashing you on the boards, posting that you are Pam Tanner etc and that you make deals.
Loli is also the proud, yet UNKNOWN (not anymore) owner or moderator of a wonderful board that is the color PINK. On this board I was being bashed, Loli informed me that the basher was Angela and Tashana's mother. I made a post and I mentioned 1 of their names and Loli freaked out said I should not have done that and then she deleted it within minutes. She even gave me IPs from the board. Now I have tried emailing loli with the ISSUES she is accusing me of, first she emailed Kellie instead and said she was not going to email me back. So I emailed her again, and she replied, then I replied and then she replied and then I replied but it did not go through because she now has me BLOCKED. Guess what Loli - YOU WIN this one. But I am NOT leaving because of you, I realize that you are going to make things very very difficult for me, and that is fine, but I am NOT a quitter and I will NOT quit my 6 years of hard work because of a CHILD like you. For years I put up a lot of crap and I kept my mouth shut and more recently I put up with being blamed for bashing that I did not do even though I knew who was doing it. Why?? The more I think about it, I did it out of fear, fear of getting on Dawn or Loli's bad side because as you have seen many times if you cross Dawn or Loli you are done in the photo contest world. I know A LOT of contest owners feel this way, they have told me. Well no more for me, I'm not afraid anymore and I will stand up and tell the truth. If it means I have to close my contests, then fine I will do that if need be. For 6 years I have paid my winners every month, on time. 85% of the time I paid them out of pocket. Everytime I made any money at all on any of my contests, I added additional cash prizes and gave it all back. For 6 years I kept to myself and never spoke up when I knew something was wrong. When I finally spoke up about something, I got bashed for it, apparently I should be seen and not heard, which is fine I will do just that. I will keep my mouth shut, however I will NOT sit back and let the lies go. You don't have to believe me, but this page is the 100% Truth take it or leave it but I'm not leaving because of it.
LOLI YOU ARE A COWARD , BASHER, 2 FACED LIAR!!!! EVERYONE WILL FIND OUT! YOU HIDE BEHIND YOUR COMPUTER AND NO ONE HAS EVER EVEN MET YOU. LOLI, SHARON OR WHOEVER YOU ARE YOUR LIES ARE BLOWING UP IN YOUR FACE.

Let's not support boards like this. It was set up just to bash people, a few in particular. It don't even have an option of CONTACTING FORUM ADMIN. Why? Because she's a basher and doesn't want anyone contacting her because she has no intention of removing anything.
Only visit boards that offer information about pageants, directors and congratulations to contestants.
The post below was correct. Boards and owners of boards like this are taking the fun out of pageants and we can all ban together and stop visiting them. She can post to herself all day long and as long as we do not respond, she will go away.
Our daughters deserve better than the creature that is running this board and ruining pageants.

If you're going to remove post about her, remove everything on all the boards because she post 90% of the bashing. She starts it before every pageant and ALWAYS after a pageant. She's playing the innocent victim again but don't let her fool you. She can't take it when she's on the receiving end but she can damn sure dish it out. Just watch the boards and you will see. You will figure it out in no time. She stays on 197653 and 197408 AND this one. BO, please give this woman what she has coming to her. It's not fair that she can sit there with her anonymizer and all her different Isp's and bash the heck out of everyone. It's her time to see how it feels!! Thanks for someone who knows the REAL ak!

I AM SURE YOU CAN FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET IN TOUCH WITH ME SINCE YOU THINK YOU KNOW SO MUCH ABOUT ME. BUT THEN AGAIN IF YOU DID YOU WOULD HAVE OBVIOUSLY KNOWN WE ARE RIGHT HERE IN VALDOSTA THIS WEEKEND.
PLEASE STOP BEING A COWARD BEHIND YOUR COMPUTER AND LEAVE MY CHILD OUT OF YOUR CONSTANT BASHING OF ME.
ALSO, FOR THE RECORD, I DO NOT OWN ANY BASH BOARDS. I WISH I KNEW WHO YOU WERE BECAUSE IT IS PEOPLE LIKE YOU WHO ARE TAKING THE FUN OUT OF PAGEANTRY FOR ALL OF US.
I AM SURE YOU WILL FIND SOME REASON TO CONTINUE TO BASH ME AFTER THIS POST, BUT IT WILL JUST CONFIRM YOU TRULY ARE A COWARD.

- Cotten Pageant- F. Carden is one of Suk's Cherokee Rose directors. If that ain't COI, I don't know what it. What's so bad about this is MM is a very beautiful little girl and probably won on her own accord BUT why give people a reason to think it's rigged!!!! We do no pageants if there is any conflict at all. I want everyone to know my child won on her own. -- No name, 14:50:12 01/29/06 Sun [14]

- MM is a beautiful child & can hold her own! Just b/c Mr. Harper was a last minute replacement judge didn't cause her to win, the 2 other judges had to score her high as well. FC had 2 daughters there - only 1 won. Both were entered in the pageant before the judge change so don't scream COI. Contestants don't pick judges & directors can't go down the list making sure no contestant knows a judge. If you're so anti-COI you must be competing out of state. (NT) -- No name, 16:23:17 01/29/06 Sun
- Other CR Dir. daughters didn't win. I don't ask for a judges list when submitting an app - do you? Entering w/o knowing who will judge, how can one be in violation of unwritten COI rules? Should CR directors have pulled their daughters when they saw Mr. H. at the judges table - they've paid the fees, traveled & dressed for the pageant? Do YOU do that if you're at a pageant? Cotton is an excellent pageant & we'll be back. But thank you for worrying about "You People" who never learn. (NT) -- No name, 18:09:45 01/29/06 Sun

- To the person so interested in psychology, -- No name, 20:19:16 01/02/06 Mon [1]
To the person so interested in psychology, I thought I would give you the proper definition of two disorders: bipolar and obsessive disorder. The first: Bipolar: Bipolar disorder is a serious disorder of the brain, with abnormalities in the brain chemistry causing extreme shifts in mood, energy and functioning. About one percent of the population in any given year suffers from this disorder. Bipolar disorders (also called manic-depressive illness) are marked by periods of manic, greatly elated moods or excited states along with periods of depression. The second: Obsessed: haunted: having or showing excessive or compulsive concern with something; "became more and more haunted by the stupid riddle"; "was absolutely obsessed with the girl"; "got no help from his wife who was preoccupied with the children"; "he was taken up in worry for the old woman" . I hope this clears up any confusion you may currently have on these two words, as you seem to be using them incorrectly to describe someone. Please move on, let this go. I'm not sure who you are, and frankly, I don't want to know. But, your patterns on this board are frightening how you only choose one person to bash. Does it keep you awake at night? Were you upset or angry because Voy was down earlier and you couldn't access this board to bash this person? If you are experiencing these feelings, please call your doctor. I hope and pray we never run into you at a pageant. Pageants are for children and the fact that you perhaps have children is down right scary.

- beautiful and true -- No name, 19:07:42 01/04/06 Wed [1]
We are sitting at lunch when my daughter casually mentions that she and
her husband are thinking of starting a family. "We're taking a survey,"
she says, half-jokingly. "Do you think I should have a baby?"
"It will change your life," I say, carefully keeping my tone neutral.
"I know," she says, "no more sleeping in on weekends, no more spontaneous
vacations...."
But that is not what I meant at all. I look at my daughter, trying to
decide what to tell her. I want her to know what she will never learn in
childbirth classes. I want to tell her that the physical wounds of child
bearing will heal, but that becoming a mother will leave her with an
emotional wound so raw that she will forever be vulnerable.
I consider warning her that she will never again read a newspaper without
asking, "What if that had been MY child?" Every plane crash, every house
fire will haunt her. When she sees pictures of starving children, she will
wonder if anything could be worse than watching your child die.
I look at her carefully manicured nails and stylish suit and think that no
matter how sophisticated she is, becoming a mother will reduce her to the
primitive level of a bear protecting her cub.
That an urgent call of "Mom!" will cause her to drop a soufflé or her best
crystal without a moment's hesitation.
I feel I should warn her that no matter how many years she has invested in
her career, she will be professionally derailed by motherhood.
She might arrange for child care, but one day she will be going into an
important business meeting and she will think of her baby's sweet smell.
She will have to use every ounce of her discipline to keep from running
home just to make sure her baby is all right.
I want my daughter to know that everyday decisions will no longer be
routine. That a five year old boy's desire to go to the men's room rather
than the women's at McDonalds will become a major dilemma. That right
there, in the midst of clattering trays and screaming children, issues of
independence and gender identity will be weighed against the prospect that
a child molester may be lurking in that restroom.
However decisive she may be at the office, she will second-guess herself
constantly as a mother.
Looking at my attractive daughter, I want to assure her that eventually
she will shed the pounds of pregnancy; but she will never feel the same
about herself. That her life, now so important, will be of less value to
her once she has a child. That she would give it up in a moment to save
her offspring, but will also begin to hope for more years - not to
accomplish her own dreams - but to watch her child accomplish his.
I want her to know that a Cesarean scar or shiny stretch marks will become
badges of honor. My daughter's relationship with her husband will change,
but not in the way she thinks. I wish she could understand how much more
you can love a man who is careful to powder the baby or who never
hesitates to play with his child. I think she should know that she will
fall in love with him again for reasons she would now find very unromantic.
I wish my daughter could sense the bond she will feel with women
throughout history who have tried to stop war, prejudice, and drunk
driving.
I hope she will understand why I can think rationally about most issues
but become temporarily insane when I discuss the threat of nuclear war to
my children's future.
I want to describe to my daughter the exhilaration of seeing your child
learn to ride a bike. I want to capture for her the belly laugh of a baby
who is touching the soft fur of a dog or a cat for the first time. I want
her to taste the joy that is so real it actually hurts.
My daughter's quizzical look makes me realize that tears have formed in my
eyes. "You'll never regret it," I finally say. Then I reach across the
table, squeeze my daughter's hand, and offer a silent prayer for her, and
for me, and for all of the mere mortal women who stumble their way into
this most wonderful of callings. This blessed gift from God . . . that of
being a Mother.
Author known only to God.
